قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَمْسٌ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُمُوهُنَّ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُنَّ لَمْ تَظْهَرِ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي قَوْمٍ قَطُّ حَتَّى يُعْلِنُوهَا إِلَّا ظَهَرَ فِيهِمُ الطَّاعُونُ وَ الْأَوْجَاعُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي أَسْلَافِهِمُ الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا وَ لَمْ يَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَ الْمِيزَانَ إِلَّا أُخِذُوا بِالسِّنِينَ وَ شِدَّةِ الْمَئُونَةِ وَ جَوْرِ السُّلْطَانِ وَ لَمْ يَمْنَعُوا الزَّكَاةَ إِلَّا مُنِعُوا الْقَطْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ لَوْ لَا الْبَهَائِمُ لَمْ يُمْطَرُوا- وَ لَمْ يَنْقُضُوا عَهْدَ اللَّهِ وَ عَهْدَ رَسُولِهِ إِلَّا سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ وَ أَخَذُوا بَعْضَ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَحْكُمُوا بِغَيْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and a number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Aban from a man from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There are five things—if you encounter them, seek refuge with Allah (Mighty and Majestic) from them: No people ever manifest indecency (fāḥishah) publicly except that plague and illnesses not known to their forefathers will spread among them; They do not cheat in weights and measures except that they are afflicted with famine, hardship in livelihood, and the tyranny of rulers; They do not withhold zakāt except that rain is withheld from the sky- and were it not for the animals, they would not be given rain at all; They do not break the covenant of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the covenant of His Messenger except that Allah empowers an enemy over them who takes some of what is in their hands; And they do not judge by other than what Allah has revealed except that He causes strife and conflict among them.’”
